When I first heard the name Redmond, I really disliked it but I love it now. It's so unique and strong. An updated version of the dated Raymond. I have a nephew named Redmond, we call him Red.
I think this is a very interesting option as a name for someone wanting something with Irish roots but that the rest of the world can pronounce. A similar sound to the better known but jaded Raymond and Desmond and "lighter" than Edmund. It also ties in to the surname as name trend, while having a proper history behind it.
I agree that this is a better name than those you listed, Eoin, but it isn’t a surname? People may mistake it as one, but Redmond is (thankfully) only a first name.
I like the sound of this name. It's an Irish version of my own name. I'm considering it as a name for a son.
